Women on an average have little
sense OF justice, and hardly any sense
whatever of awarding to others a
freedom for which they do not care
themselves. The course OF all modern
legislation is its tendency TO make by
laws, fretting and yexatious laws
trenching unjustiliahly on the personal
liberty of the individual. If women
were admitted TO political power these
laws would be multiplied indefinitely
and necessarily. Such mcddling legis-
lation as the Sunday closing act in
England, and the Maine liquor laws in
the United States would be the JOY and
aim of the mass of female voters.
Women cannot understand that you
can make no nation %virtuous by act Of
parliament; they would construct their
acts of parliament on purpose to make
people virtuous whether they choose or
not, and would not see that this would
be a form of tyranny as bad as any
other. - The average man is not an
intellectual nor a noble being; neither
is the average woman. But there are
certain Solid qualities in the male
creature which are lacking from the
female; such qualities as liberation
and calmness in judgment, which are
of infinite value, and in which the
female character is almost invariably
deficient; a lack In her which makes
the prophecy Of Dumas that she will
one day ill judicial and forensic duties
a most alarming prospect, rs alarming
as the prediction of Goodwin Smith
that the negro population will event
ualIy outnumber and extinguish the
Aryan race in the | nited states.

From the we'll known advert,sin

From the we'll known advertising
house of George P. Rowell & c.,
proprietors of the newspaper .dver.
Using bureau at 10 Spruce street,
New York city, has been issued a
small volume containing much and
very important information for adj
vertisers. The list of newspapers
given contains only such periodicals
as are on sound footing, and have
circula,ions running up into the
thousands. The principal papers OF
the south, north, east and west are
represented, and classified IN a con-
venient way. 1t has been the aim OF
the publishers to s,ft the wheat from
the chatf, and the book directs the
attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ouy hit to
use, and tends to intercept portion
OF that patronage which goes to
publications which cost greatly IN
excess OF any power to benefit which
they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best IS the cheapest,
Prominent among the first journals

who have triun,phed over mistakes
we might mention Oliver Wendell
Phillips and Demosthenes, but you
will say they were exceptional cases.
But how do YOU know that you have

they fail TO make the effort.

They need logical training as we'll
as men, and speaking is the best
way IN ex,stance of obtaining

see that many OF our great reformers,

temperance, are ladies': and for these
reasons we invite LADIES' as well as

And in conclusion | will say, let
